Grand Cayman,
Cayman Islands -

Beach Resort" by Starwood
Preferred guest members, Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa on Grand
Cayman Island is
pleased to announce a multi-million dollar resort renewal project with
enhancements planned across the property. Guided by Westin standards
that loyal
guests admire, the oceanfront resort on the sparkling sands of Seven

spaces,
meeting spaces, the fitness center and the island's largest freshwater
swimming
pool. The project is scheduled for completion
in late November 2012 in time for the Caribbean's high season.

Fresh Caribbean Design
The Leo A Daly design team led by Pat Miller and Kathy
Armstrong, focused on creating a relaxed island atmosphere that
rejuvenates
resort guests throughout their stay. The renovation employs an eclectic
mix of
new materials in island colors, including shellstone, abaca rope,
rattan, sea
glass, and stained wood in soft blues and whites for a bright island
glow.

Enhanced Arrival Experience
Upon entering the resort, guests will be
welcomed to a refreshed porte-cochère, featuring new landscaping
and a
renovated lobby that will have a Caribbean bungalow atmosphere.
Extensive work
in the lobby includes enhanced architectural details such as repainted
wainscot, columns and ceiling, as well as new furniture and an art
collection
with portrayals of local flora and fauna flanked by large mirrors in
mother of
pearl frames.

Resort-wide Refresh
Hotel corridors are also being refreshed with
new carpeting, repainted ceilings and walls, as well as new wall
sconces.
Elevators are receiving new ceilings, walls and floor finishes. The
freshwater
swimming pool is also being upgraded with new surface and lighting, as
well as
four new poolside cabanas. The resort fitness center will soon gleam
with new
equipment, flooring and fresh paint, while all meeting and banquet
space will
feature brand new modern carpeting. A new property management and
reservation system
will expedite bookings, while the resort staff will receive a stylish
new look
with refreshed uniforms.
